fergie was at stoke to check out kenwyne jones

Really!!, .....Or maybe it was to watch Wilfred Zaha! made me chuckle though!

No he was not...... I am pretty sure in fact %110 sure he was looking at Tony Pulis as he is considering asking him to sign for United as a centre midfielder so the average age can be reduced.

It was for Rory Super Throw Delap

Why, do we need someone to make the half time tea.....!

NathanaSe7en

It was to watch stokes awsome style of rugby

Shawcross - wants him back.....

Maybe he wanted someone to paint his roof...

Prob wants walters to replace van persie lol or He was seeing how good zaha was aganist premier league opposition

Glad to see Angelo Henriquez starting for Wigan, all be it against Bournemouth.........Hopefully he can stake a claim for a starting place in the league and get some good performances behind him.

Did anyone see the match? If so, how did he do?

I can't believe QPR got Remy.... Madness. His agent must be laughing all the way to the bank right now.

I think its a very good move for the player. If QPR get religated he gets released. He gets to put himself in the shop window with half a seasons playing time.

ettiene capoue linked with everton 9m good young player adaptible strong holding midfielder

What does that have to do with united? {Ed004's Note - Possibly as united need a young, strong and forceful midfielder like Capoue}

Alot of rumours flying about from de gea heading back to spain to barca or real madrid anyone shed any light on this? possible replacement in jack butland young good keeper has the ability to be the best in the world? also heard alot of ronaldo coming back? :/ would be great but we don't have the finaces to

David de Gea WILL be Spain's #1. Cassillas and Vicente del Bosque have predicted as such.
Like a fine wine, he needs aging. Plus a good Muscle build up.
Valdes has always been suspect, but has always had the best defence protecting him.

King Juan Carlos and Principe Philipe always seem to prefer Madrilista Goal Keepers rather than Catalans. So he pays the piper calls the tune.
David de Gea to Madrid.

how would buttland be a good replacement? He spent last season on loan at i believe cheltenham and now he's playing in a very average brum side. Yes he has potential but he's a little over hyped because he's english. He'd be a good replacement for lindegaard and we could train him up to a number one but not straight in as number one. In the unlikely event de gea went i'd want someone with more experience than buttland

I would like forster as a replacment or tim krul but i would prefer to keep de gea

15 Jan 2013 16:40:09
De Geas not going anywhere, we will all see soon enough that when our defense improves and midfield gets its rythm going our keeper will get his act together, it nearly all comes part in parcel and then like last season(2nd half) it'll be all about 'now we're seeing his real talent', next best thing de gea etc.Its a confidence thing, remember when he got his confidence last season the save against Chelsea to win the game. I don't think we'll touch a new keeper in this window, the summer is a possibility but unless an offer comes in I don't think we'll sell DDG as he's young and fits our bill at the min.I think Butland has potential but I think Sam Johnstone has equal potential just needs a good run of games so maybe he'll go out on loan for experience.DDG possibly not the long term answer but defo the next keeper will/should have more experience.

I don't believe his sale is to do with his performance, it's just he is Spanish and would most probably prefer to play for Barca than for us. I can't blame him tbh, if I was anything other than a united fan I would want to play for them too. He is being very professional about it and getting on with his job but I get a feeling he is angling for a return to Spain. Especially after SAFs interview where he said the problem with signing foreign players is that they only tend to stay for a few years, I get the feeling Valencia might be off in the summer as well.

Dan

If we are getting a replacement then I would like either Begovic or the Galatasaray goalkeeper he is class.

Unless DDG is unhappy in England or at Man Utd, SAF won't be selling him. There is nothing that a settled defence, a strong midfielder to shield the back four, time and 10 kilos of muscle won't put right.
Mik

Butland but out mate and get a grip.....why because he's "ENGLISH" there's usr problem putting pressure on young devoloping talent b4 they are anywhere near making it...

Sneijder to united 8.5-10.8mill to be completed before the 25th medical in all........ Looks like he reduced his wage....
This is a text I got from a mate..... Not sayin it's tru but sounds like a good deal all round

CAIN

If true could be good business if he is willing to reduce his wage demands
would fit into the midfield and be great for the club

sneijder & Zaha great double signing

UNITEDFORLIFE75

If sneijder is available for £8-10 million I think it's well worth a go, especially when you think saf spent £7-5 million on bebe

Would be good business if its true. He's at his peak now at 28. Has this rumour been ratified at all or what's your source?

Bebe cost £7.4m plus £90k a year in salary. Total over 4 years = £8m

Sneijder would cost £8m plus £50m in salary. Total = £58m

A ridiculous comparison no name.

Sydney!

Syd as I said not sure how true it is but how can you say 50 mil in salary ........ Fact is no one knows Wat we could should an probably will pay him ..... I recon it could be 130-150 weekly over 4 years it's 25-33 mill so your way off the mark an if it's as low as 8 signing on fee then that is just over 40 mill ..... We wanted him for near 30 mill let alone wage ........=great deal if it can be done

CAIN

CAIN, although I think the rumour isn't true. Sneijder wants £130k a week NET. If he was to reduce his demands (highly unlikely) then he will drop it to £100k a week NET. That means we would have to pay him £10m a year. Even then it will be the best part of £50m. That is a massive gamble on a player who has had one world-class season THREE YEARS AGO.

I'm sorry bud, but I do not buy this rumour as he is a very greedy little man.

Sydney!

Sydney, i didn't realise that you were the Agent of Wesley Sneijder and knew what his wage demands were?
Can you confirm if he is coming or not and put all our minds at ease?

Simmo

How many world class seasons did berbatov have and nani an ando the list goes on I'm sure at least one of them where on similar wage ........ So syd I think your estimation is still off as regards of money an can not believe for a second a smart fellow like yourself cannot see that compeard to Wat we could of got him for a year ago

CAIN

He'll keep Ando company in the sick room at least. I've always thought WS excellent for Holland and not all that at club level. Since leaving Ajax he's had one good season clubwise, when Inter won the treble. Hope we don't get him, (don't think we will anyway) and we go for Wanyama, Strootman or the like.
Mik

Sydney, bebe on 90k a week ? Think you've got decimal point wrong somewhere there

Dustbin

Does this mean RVP has sorted things with him? I know about the ballon d'or nomination so maybe that's a step 4ward.
If we were to sign him, he'd have to massively reduce his demands. As he would or Liverpool, Arsenal or city etc. He simply needs to prove himself and then review his contract in the summer. Not sure where this puts a fit Anderson though, but I hear Sneijder has ability for wide play too. I defo think he deserves a shot if he were to accept 70k NET on a 2yr contract with review in the summer.
It seems as tho Syd is not a fan?... He could add serious strength if he gelled with Carrick, RVP, Rooney, Kagawa... If he found the form we saw against Chelsea a few years ago, he would add Awe...

Patzi

Simmo, no need to be a c*ck. It's well known that Sneijder wants his current Inter deal matched and that is £130k a week NET. He has spoken to Chelsea, City and Us and he wouldn't budge. Again that is no secret.

Dustbin, £90k a YEAR mate. He was put on a United training salary.

CAIN, Nani and Ando joined the club on £16k a week. They have both had one contract extension in their United careers. My guess is they are both on £45k a week as Portuguese papers at the time said Nani was having his wages trebled. Berbatov was on circa £100k a week. Not £250k a week that the club would need to pay Sneijder to meet his demands.

Sydney!

Haha sorry Sydney I'll read properly next time

Dustbin

Completely agree with Sydney on this the guy has only had one really good season and by the looks of things his attitude stinks not worth a punt 4 me. And we have kagawa who is just as technically gifted which he will show once he gets an understanding with the rest of the team and gets some games.

Why you all keep going on about him? He isn't worth the money fergie isn't going to waste money on a player we dnt need. Stop playing FIFA ppl.

Sydney I'm the no name I wasn't talking about wages ( if you read my post ) I was talking about the transfer fee........and my name is Leigh

Leigh, you have to factor-in the whole cost of a player when buying him, not just the transfer fee.

Sydney!

Do you fink ronaldo is planin helpin utd out to sign him by runnin his contact out to lower the price i hope so i hope he's back were he belongs at old trafford can ya sheed any light on this cheers!

I think he is playing hardball for a monster RM contract. If they offer him a better deal than Messi I think he will sign. They will then sell him in a few year's time IMO.

Sydney!

So its a greed tactic rather than wot people are sayin his lookin back to utd . Realy loved to see him back again but if its money he's lookin he will hav more chance at rubbishy .. Cum on ronni old traffords your home lets hav ya back kid!

STOP it for crying out loud!!
Ronaldo...ronaldo...ronaldo......
are we united fans so pathetic that we can't accept the fact that he is at another club and move on?
fine, i agree, he was great, he won us the champions league, but really, can we not produce another player of such calibre? Afterall, it was United who made him a star, why can't we just move on and rather focus on bringing more talent to the club and making him a star? ....
we united fans are really a spoiled bunch, we want everything ready made, and we can't move on, new Scholes, new Keane, New Cantona etc. ........this is the exact reason why some united 'fans' don't value players like carrick, he is not roy keane, but he gives us something that keane or nicky butt never could! ....
just forget about ronaldo, he is gone, and it is best if we don't talk about him!

Exactly what he said. ^^^^^^^^^^^ . he doing to real what he did to us it was his dream to play for them and we will ( united ) turned him into the super star to get there. now he wants to come back to the club and manager he turned his back on

Ive said this from day one, he's pure class but he only wants to come back because he knows we are the dominant force of the premier league and that real are nothing but a twinkle compared to barca and evel athletico and malaga this season for all the money spent on the so called ` dream team` their under achieving far too much he knows he won't win anything with madrid therefore he's trying to up sticks

Whoever had the rant, why can't we dream he may want to come back to united. We may produce another great player but why the f*ck wouldn't we not want the world's 2nd best player (and best player I've ever seen play in England) back at united

Yes why wouldnt we want him back wee took mark hughes back from barca didn't we were lookin to make the complete team b4 fergie retires so if dats wats on the cards then yes give fergie the check book and lets get this unique treble again and bring back the glory days.. GG MU.. Belfast.....

Well with both rumours of Pep coming in as manager and ronaldo coming back to us, i see both to be highly unlikely, its either one or the other to be fair.

If any one saw ballon d'or with ronaldo/pep moment then youd know what i was talking about.

Because of this i don't think ronaldo will be coming back to united, to be honest though do we need someone like that back? to go from saying that he was in a family club and that he was not leaving, to catching the first flight out to madrid! pfft! sod him i say.

Id rather have pep take over from fergie (when he decides to retire!)

Anyone know what the situation is with this kid Bruno Gomes from brazil? Has a deal been agreed, is he any good?
Sorry if this has been discussed before.

Del boy!

He cannot stop scoring in Brazil and he has one a few accolades. He is a player that we have an option on. I understand fee has been agreed and we will decide whether or not to buy him between now and the summer. We will not see him til he turns 18, but he will continue to train with us for a few weeks a year.

Sydney! {Ed004's Note - Will he count as a homegrown talent then if he is bought before his 18th birthday?}

He is good but I think he's only 16 and can't sign until he's 18. He's been prolific at youth level and apparently has the lot in terms of attributes.

Supasub

Ed004, even if he signs slightly after his 18th birthday he will count as homegrown. Smalling, Jones, Evans, Rafa, Fabio, Cleverley, Welbeck, Young, Rooney, Powell, Amos, Zaha? are all homegrown.

Johnstone, Lingard, Cole, Vermijl, Petrucci, Henriquez, W.Keane, M.Keane, Tunnicliffe, Blackett, Januzaj, Daehli, Pearson, Wilson, Perreira, Ioannou, Barmby, Rothwell, Goss, Harrop.

Sydney! {Ed004's Note - Well Zaha is English and been in the youth academy at Palace for over 2 years, would Ronaldo count as home grown if playing for Man Utd}

Ed004, Ronaldo would most certainly be homegrown.

Sydney! {Ed004's Note - I thought so what age is they have to sign by. I thought the rules were you had to have trained in England for 3 years before your 21st birthday}

Cheers lads, lets hope he turns out good!

Del boy!

He just has to be affiliated to the FA/welsh FA for 36 months before his 21 birthday to be considered homegrown, he doesnt have to have trained here. All he needs to do is go online and apply for an FA playerpass and he'll be "affiliated"

Snakey {Ed004's Note - Ah ok cheers}

do not know if he is any good but seems to have plenty potential, try this link he is pictured with SAF.
